Our first cycling HelpXer

Meet Antony, not only the first of our HelpXers who arrived on his bike, but our first Helper from Belgium. Only 18 years old, he arrived in Brisbane about a month ago, and after spending a few days checking the city out, made his way to Ipswich where he had his first HelpX experience. While there, he bought himself the bike and the trailer and then rode from Ipswich to Beaudesert on his way to, yep, you guessed it, Larnook! It took him two days to ride from Ipswich to our place, and given its about 150km over some very steep terrain, I am just amazed. He was one tired Belgian when he arrived at our place last Tuesday.
While I was in Singapore, our friend Warren, from Newcastle came up to spend a few days with Steve and they headed up to Brisbane last Monday to see Elaine Page, and do some shopping. That's Warren in the background looking suitable dumbfounded when he learned how far Antony had ridden.
